Description Thomas Zander 2006-07-08 23:14:33 UTC
Version:           1.5.9 (using KDE 3.5.3, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.13.2

When you have selected a tool you can paint by clicking and dragging. This works for most tools inside the boundaries of the painting as well as outside. Where outside is the gray area between the painting and the rulers.
For example you can paint half a rectangle by starting a drag outside the canvas.

The bug is that this does not work for all tools. The freehand is one. The Crop is another (though the crop should still clip to the canvas).

Please go through all tools and make them consistent.

SVN commit 575636 by coppens:

Due to popular request: allow freehand painting strokes to start outside the image area. This would be especially handy together with wishlist item 132759

Checked all tools, fixed the crop tool. Forward ported to trunk.
